Hainan Island monsoon rain forests
Ecoregion in Hainan Island, China
The Hainan Island monsoon rain forests ecoregion (WWF ID: IM0169) covers mountainous interior of Hainan Island in China. The tropical forests receive over 1,000 mm/year of rain, heavily concentrated in the summer rainy season. The island has high levels of biodiversity, with over 4,200 plant species, 630 of which are endemic to the island.[1][2] The region is under ecological pressure from deforestation for agriculture and timber extraction.
